AT&T will be releasing a slew of Data Devices (And handsets) in the next month or so, and here is pricing for the new stuff.
This is just what was supposed to be slotted for release before 11/3, There is more coming, like the recently confirmed Blackjack 2, LG Shine, LG Prada, HIGHLY rumored Palm Centro (Or possibly another Windows Mobile based Palm), and even more rumored Nokia N95!

My 2 cents worth, AT&T knows the money is in data devices, whether or not consumers want to drop $40 a month to use them is another thing. If AT&T wants these devices to sell they need to start looking at adopting iPhone-esc data plans or better yet
helio data plans to attract young consumers. More on this later.
Fresh in store now the Motorola Q9 Global. 1st impressions are quite nice, unboxing reveals the regular data device assortment of USB cables, house charger and CD. Also included is a headphone adapter (Yea!), an adapter to use your old Motorola charger with your new micro USB device, and both a normal capacity and high capacity battery. The flat front and buttons make for a much sexier look than the previous Q and is a dream to carry. The extended battery makes it feel very reminisent of the old starcom flips with the wart of a battery sticking out. More soon after a bit more playing. Pricing $299.99 (After $50 rebate with unl. data or personal PDA Plan) or $499 no contract.
